Photoelectrochemical water splitting using post-transition metal oxides for hydrogen production: a review

Dihydrogen (H2), commonly named ‘hydrogen,’ is considered as a promising renewable fuel that does not emit carbon dioxide upon combustion. Nonetheless, since hydrogen is actually mainly produced from fossil fuels, sustainable methods such as water splitting are required. For that, metal oxide semico...
